Aliexpress Cables
Nov 16, 2022 at 1:10 PM Post #1,816 of 4,422
I have both Odin 2 and Odin Gold balanced interconnects and power cables. The foil shielding on both types of cables are not grounded and look and feel of the same aluminum foil material except the color.

I am using them on a headphone setup and cannot comment on sizes of instruments but can say that my system feels like there are no real borders when it comes to sound staging. I am referring to width and depth.
Thank you, I heard what I wanted.
Sound stage, that's different. I meant only a reduction in the body of the instruments, as if mid-bass is missing.
It's strange, but in ODIN Gold power cable a wire wrapped with a gold dielectric like from a Christmas tree no foil .
The strange thing is that the same wires Odin 2 and Odin Gold sound differently based on the information in this forum.
In Odin 2 (silver) the foil is dense and thick and is not connected to ground.

Guys, I’m signing off now, as I just don’t have it in me these days to have disputes with clowns, if anyone could ever wish to write me?, hit me up over on Audio Asylum, I go by the username of El34eh@yahoo.com, no it isn’t my email address | just a title I chose over 19 years ago, and didn’t want to lose my previous post, so decided to let it stick.

Thanks to those of you whom were willing to share your vision with me, on several of the topics which on my end needed to be clarified | now that I’ve learned all that I believe I didn’t know, it’s time to step back and live out whatever’s left of life, not regretting said lessons, but no longer having to deal with rude ass people.

Over | Out.

Take care of yourselves | loved ones.
Salaam.

Back to FLUX 50.
I just unplugged the only Flux 50 that was wired to my DAC power supply and immediately heard a more detailed and clearer sound.
Inside Flux 50 there is an EMI filter, which can be put at the input of an amplifier or other equipment,
2. If you replace the Flux 50 copper cable with ODIN 2 cable, then there will be a better result, since a small piece of wire adds color to the sound (copper sound).
In the original Flux 50 : inside AC-1501R EMI filter features a parallel circuit with in-line coil and condenser, reducing noise at 1MHz by 10dB and at 10MHz by more than 30dB.
But rather, in the Chinese Flux 50, there can be an ordinary cheap filter for $ 1 bucket like on pic .

With the cables I have, Odin 2 and Odin Gold both have what seems like the same aluminum foil shielding around each conductor, just different color.

LOL now I am glad I did not buy a real or clone.

To say that they laughed at a device, if anything casts a shadow on their character. Unless they have actually tried it, they have no valid point. Grounding works by absorbing free electrons and the like, dampening. I have already heard a difference with the two very tiny cylinder shaped grounding devices I got a couple dozen pages back from AliExpress but barely barely so, as such I want to get something a lot bigger and see what can be had. But I'm not going to step up to the plate for like $500, hopefully I'll find some budget wooden box from China as a starter.

Accidentally jumped out not expensive. How it works I don't know.

How tedious it is to sit and wait for the wires to burn out and hope that something will change.

If you want full sound, put a short copper power cable, for example, after the silver one.

In the evening, the sound is different, as factories and factories stop working and a more correct AC sine wave is supplied. In the afternoon, the sine wave is cut, I read an article about how distributors themselves steal electricity.

Well, I just plugged my little grounding box to the ground pin on the bic500, and lo and behold, I hear a rather significant improvement in overall sound; more authoritative due to a blacker background; more musicality because there is more of the actual mix coming through...wow, I'm really surprised. Crisper...I think that is just really greater contrast related to improved dynamic range. Not bad for ten buck$. :)

My order of the rosewood cylinders should be arriving hopefully by next week. One of them is going on the plc like you have it.

Anyone open one of these up and see what is inside?

There was mention of a 'silicone wafer' on the website. Its filled with hard epoxy you would need a hacksaw to cut through this...

It never ends, LOL.. let's just hope it's not actually one of these inside

Actually I'm rather surprised you heard a difference with just one of those small dampening cylinders. I have two of them on my large amp and I almost had to imagine any difference in sound. Maybe it makes a bigger difference for a smaller amp. The seller I spoke with last night on the below mentioned product confirmed my suspicion that bigger is better. So I ordered this one at about 3.5 kg, on the way.

Cool, let us know what difference if any effect it has on your system. I am skeptical.

It could be the placement.

Since its placed on the plc thats designed specifically with a spot for a grounding device.
